Adopt Blanca — a gentle soul looking for the patient person she's been waiting for.

Blanca has come a long way since arriving in foster care, and watching her confidence grow has been nothing short of incredible. Once a dog who kept her tail tucked and hid away, she now happily explores her home, asks for affection, enjoys daily brushing, and has discovered just how wonderful it is to be loved. This beautiful pup's estimated birthday is 6.12.2021.

Once you've earned Blanca's trust, you'll have a devoted shadow. She'll stand on her back legs to ask for pets, roll over for belly rubs, shower you with kisses, and happily spend the day curled up in your lap. She's playful without being over-the-top and has a hilarious habit of "collecting treasures" — from socks to stuffed animals (and even the occasional vegetable!) — to stash in her bed. Her favorite toys? The biggest squeaky toys she can find.

Blanca gets along well with most dogs that she’s met in the past and has done wonderfully living with cats. She's respectful of her feline friends and will occasionally get excited if one runs by, but she's easily redirected and has even been known to nap beside them.

Because of her past, Blanca does have some special needs. She has a significant fear of leashes and being confined, so she'll need a securely fenced yard where she can safely go outside. She's house-trained with a consistent routine but benefits from an attentive adopter who can help her stay on schedule. She's also timid with new people and needs time to warm up, but patience is always rewarded with her affectionate, loving personality.

Blanca would do best in a calm, adult home without children. Her ideal family is someone who is home often, enjoys a loyal companion, and understands that trust is built over time. She'll also need regular grooming and an adopter who is comfortable keeping up with her coat care.

Blanca is looking for a patient home. If you're willing to let her move at her own pace, she'll repay you with unconditional love, endless cuddles, and a lifetime of companionship.
